Two Wrongs Don’t Make a Playwright by Bailey Seaborn

Synopsis

When Kate shows up desperate at Nick’s Hollywood Hills mansion after seven years of silence, he offers her a deal: pretend nothing ever came between them and go back to being just friends. Just friends who take road trips together. And kiss goodnight. And maybe go skinny dipping. The question neither of them wants to answer: is it really falling back in love if you never actually fell out of it?

Why We Loved It

Listen, Meg fought and cried and bled through this book for 5 years before publishing, so it’s hard to noarrow down all the things we love.

Here’s the top highlights:

• Dual timeline + Dual POV (this is pretty rare — usually with dual timeline, you only get single POV)
• The 15 years of history (which is probably why Playwright is the longest book in the All or Nothing series)
• The found family throughlines of the series (you get Mallory, Grace, Alex, Tori and Cruz all having substantial roles in the plotline)
• The Shakespeare nad Greek mythology references
• Kate’s relationship to her art, especially as she reconnects with her art therapy roots
• Nick as a secret softboi fighting his own demons and the Hollywood expectations
